    The insults usually come when the story is done and they insert their two cents. The stories themselves are better (of course) but still always function on the assumption that the French are being intransigent, not the US.

    I don't read washingtonpost.com or foxnews

    What I do is look at CNN, the BBC and the CBC. Gives a nice spread of nations. If I wasn't lazy I'd also read a french online paper to get a real Euro view of things, but at least the BBC usually does a good job of sitting in the middle and fully detailing what both sides are saying.

      Then where's Paul Begala's or a similarly-placed person's hour?

          Where is CBC Newsworld's 1 hour right-wing commentary piece?

            Is he farther to the left than Dobbs is to the right? Because Dobbs is pretty far to the right, from what I've heard him say.

              You mean counterspin?



              Hey, they always have a spread of guests. Usually a crazy rightwinger from the US, an American with a dovish leftist organisation, a canadian MP of some kind and a Canadian professor or that former canadian ambassador to to Israel they always have (the MP and the prof will disagree).

                If Counterspin counts, Crossfire counts...

                  Did I mention how much I hate Avi Lewis? I can't watch that show because of him.

                    ?

                    Crossfire has two avowed leftists and two rightists. It's not a win for either side, as far as I can tell.

                    Dobbs' report is basically monologue. And take a listen to Cafferty in the morning. I don't even know where the other two hosts of that show stand, because he's the only one offering commentary as stilted as he is.

                      Who's that? The host?

                      I don't like her either. But she doesn't really inject very much into the discussion.

                        Counterspin and Crossfire are just debate shows. They don't count as "leftist" or "rightist".

                        CBC has no right-wing content at all really, it's all **** like David Suzuki's The Nature of Things which bends reality in their own special way to discuss how Kyoto will dramatically boost Canada's economy and the like. It's fantastic entertainment, but it's very biased.

                        I expect no less of a company funded by the federal government, though.

                            the news and networks is even more in the pockets of the corporations than the politcians

                            the fact that they are suppose to be the ballancing force, is one of the tihngs that unballances the system so sciverally towards the corporations (and rich)

                              What I was saying about Crossfire wasn't that it counted as commentary, but that it's the only place you'll see a leftist talk openly on CNN. But the two rightists I mention seem to have a commentary mandate, while there isn't anyone on the left who's allowed that much leash.

                                Whenever I watch it the host is an Indian/Pakistani woman of some sort.
